If you are one of the Old Folks, nope! You have until tomorrow at “midnight”. In quotation marks because if I get it by the time I wake up I will probably accept it. :wink:

thehandcoder, that was funny! Danged snags. Inspired by you, I whipped together an outtake of my own. :wink:

Love the outtake videos. Now I have to make one, too.

Remember, getting a knot doesn’t mean the fun is all over. :wink:

Wanna see my knuckles get smashed? Look no further!

I’m 37. Husband of 16 years, father of 2 for 14 years. I feel old and that I qualify because I want to win these yoyos. Oh, and I have to ice after yoyoing and I’m still paying for my submission which I completed and submitted early before the extension so that part too. :wink:

The outtakes make me feel good. I was going to enter this year but the hospital won. Maybe next year.  
Good luck to those who entered.

So I’ve watched this about 5 times. And I’ve laughed at this about, well, 5 times. And I feel a little guilty every time I do. So I’ll keep watching until I stop laughing. I’m just trying to become a better person.

I appreciate all the concern for my well being. :wink: You will be glad to know that my hat brim took the brunt of the blow, and all is well with my face. You know besides the way it normally looks.
